Orleans Parish recount scheduled for sheriff's office millage renewal, crucial for budget.

A recount is scheduled for Thursday for the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office millage renewal, which narrowly passed by just two votes. The $13 million annual tax renewal, requested by Sheriff Susan Hutson to prevent possible layoffs and fund public safety, was contested by local resident Danilo Feliciano. Only paper ballots from early and absentee voting will be recounted. The renewal's approval is crucial for maintaining the department's budget and operations.
